We would like to invite participation in the MY WORLD Survey, which is gathering people’s views on the world of women and work – from the barriers they face to the ideas that could accelerate their economic progress. Your answers will help feed into the work of the first ever UN High Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment.

The Panel is looking at ways to improve economic opportunities for all women and will provide practical recommendations to the United Nations. It is made up of influential leaders from across government, business, academia and civil society.
